Is it not a bit too much to ask people to invest their (spare) time into
an enterprise that has many signs of be(com)ing ineffective, because of
the way the ICANN Board has so far handled the issue? At-Large efforts of
the Board can all be classified as side-tracking.

Attack the Board then? :-/

If the Board is serious, it tells us very soon what the criteria will be
for organizations to be allowed to be part of the official At-Large. Until
such info materializes, I would advise anyone not to waste her time.
